Happy Thursday  ~  309

Another short post today.  I have employee training all day today so I’ve got to get going as the training is being held at Camp Courageous near Monticello, Iowa.

I really enjoy the interaction with people and helping them learn new things.  It is one of my favorite things to do.  I enjoy being of service to others (most of the time.) 🙂

Last evening after work my good Friend Jake and I went out to Derby Grange driving range to see what kind of condition our golf swings were in.  We both play in a charity best shot next week so no real pressure on one to perform all that much.  At one point in my life I played and practice golf almost to the exclusion of all else.  I practiced enough to finally reach of my goal having a single digit handicap.  I actually got down to a 9 hdcp.  It was short-lived and would generally bounce between a 10 – 12 most of the time I played.

In 2000 I decided that I couldn’t do both photography and golf and since the most enjoyment I received was from photography I cut back on my golfing activities.  Work also played a role in that.  I simply didn’t have the time available to practice and with no natural athletic abilities it didn’t take long for what little skill I had developed to deteriorate.   So then golf became even less enjoyable because I could no longer play to the level I once had.

I only ramble about this so that you understand last night.  I played a grand total of 4 times in 2013 with the last time being late August.  I had not touched a club until last night and it was like the first time I ever tried hitting a golf ball. YUK!  Maybe at the event I’ll just stick to putting.  🙂

That’s it for today.  Hope you enjoy the image of this little Killdeer.  I love the red in their eyes.

Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy your day and be careful.
